Faster than quicksilver slips through your fingers the summer slipped away. My mother mentioned that we would be going back to the city next week so that we could get ready for school and suddenly I realized that I might not see Joe again until next summer. When you're a 12 year old the school year seemed like an eternity.

Thanks again Neil. This edition reminded me of when I built a 3 weight bamboo rod for our 10 year old next door neighbor's daughter. She was delighted with it, and after just a few pointers was throwing 40' loops like a seasoned pro. I pray we won't have to wait till school is out for next summer before we hear more about your (albeit fictitious) adventures with Joe.

What you forget about when you were a kid is brought back in a moment... thanks Neil.
